Proper Gin and Tonic

I would rather drink gin than any whiskey. I had a $500 bottle of whiskey I bought 30 years ago. I packed it for 25 years, it was bottled 40 years before I bought it. Finally cracked into it and I didn't enjoy it. I gave some to my father in law and he hated it to.

This was a single malt from Isle, Scotland.

Made vanilla out of it and had some of the most amazing tasting vanilla ever a year later.
 
I like to try various gin brands, but thus far, haven't found any better than Hendrick's. Half a glass of gin, half tonic (any brand) and a slice of grapefruit or orange, and all is right with the world.

@gcbailey - well I “guess” Hendrick’s is Gin? Although at only 80 proof it’s 60% WATER….but people like it so it must taste OK?

It isn't so much the taste, as the slight bite in the back of the throat that I get with Hendrick's.

I have been using a "Personal Property" rider on my State Farm homeowner's policy to cover guns when I travel with them.
I have several firearms, but only one is worth over $20K (A Heym double rifle).
Very interested.
Would firearms be covered for damage, as well as, complete loss?
I'll can let the State Farm rider cover my watches...

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
